ROULETTE GAME-BOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 31, 1906.

Application filed September 26, 1905. Serial No. 280,026.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Turns W. RUssELL, a citizen of the United States, residin in the city, county, and State of New Yor i, have invented new and useful Improvements in Roulette Game-Boards, of which the following is a specification.

By means of this invention purchasers of roulette-cards are provided with convenient means for completing the operation of using the pack of cards. For example, on trains a board or foundation embodying this invention can be conveniently carried in the pocket and applied to use as required.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a face view of a game-board embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is an edge view of Fig. 1.

In the drawings is shown a foundation or board a of suitable material. Cardboard or thin wood can be used. This foundation has a layer of adhesive 1) applied thereto. A protecting layer, such as parafiin paper 0, will prevent the adhesive from becoming unduly moist or adhering to foreign objects. This board is spaced to receive the layout for roulette-cards. Each space indicates where the respective card shall be attached to the board or foundation. The spacing-lines are indicated at e. The board is shown hinged or foldable into small compass. A practical construction has been found to be a board with four folds or five divisions. Such a board can be folded into convenient compass to be slipped or carried in the pocket.

To apply the board to use, the protecting layer or paraffin paper is stripped off or removed, the adhesive moistened, and the cards from the pack required to form the layout are stuck into their respective places, as indicated.
